The first question should be, do we need to do anything at all? But it's not just the 1 centimeter pneumothorax that most pediatric surgeons wouldn't. Put a tube in, right? What about the big pneumothoraces? And I would tell you that large prospective study demonstrated that you can safely observe even children with even a sizable pneumothorax.

Now, that's tricky. Don't just do a stable lobectomy. The data does support that, to do some pleural-based management. But, you know, how much of the pleuris should you take out? Is it 25%? Is it just the apex? Is it 50%? Do you really need to strip the entire chest wall? Who knows?
